Kelsch, a fabric with blue or red checkered patterns, was a central element of life in the Alsatian countryside between 1815 and 1870. During this period, a thick stack of fabrics neatly stored in chests and wardrobes was a sign of wealth. Kelsch was primarily used to make pillowcases, quilts, as well as curtains that formed the alcoves in rural homes, along with doilies and checkered tablecloths.<\/p>\n
The presence of Kelsch can be traced back to illuminated manuscripts from the 10th century, painted by Alsatian workshop artists. Kelsch is also noted in tapestries from a Strasbourg workshop for Abbess Sainte Attale of Saint Etienne and in the tapestry depicting Saint Elizabeth and her deathbed.<\/p>\n
These fabrics are also referred to as “Gothic” because they combine red and blue colors, reminiscent of the stained glass windows of medieval religious buildings that were monochrome in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
